Personally, I would instead opt for the Audi RS6, but this brand new Audi RS7 Exclusive Edition sure looks interesting too, with an MSRP of US$ 165,400 before options and taxes, the fact that only 23 units will be made and she comes with a host of really excellent options as standard fitment makes this a great looking deal nonetheless, first deliveries are set for late summer 2022, exclusive for the USA market at this time.
Power comes from the famous 4-Liter V8 bu-turbo engine, with a maximum output of 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, despite this being a, for European specs, large car, she can get to 60 mph from a standstill in just 3.5 seconds, and thanks to the standard-fitted Sport exhaust with black tips, the sound during this acceleration will give you goosebumps, right up to the electronically limited top speed of 190 mph, and this lady comes with some impressive stopping power too, 439mm (17.3”) Audi front and 371mm (14.6”) Audi rear Ceramic brakes with blue-painted calipers are also standard for this edition.
If you look closely, you’ll notice this isn’t your regular black metallic paint, the Audi RS7 Exclusive Edition comes with a bespoke Mamba Black Pearl effect paint with a subtle undertone of blue, add the carbon fiber exterior package into the mix together with the black Audi rings and badges, the carbon exterior mirrors, front spoiler, and rear diffuser. The massive 22-inch 5 V-spoke are finished in glossy anthracite paint, 285/30 ZR22 tires wrap these beauties all around this Quattro. The touch of blue from the Mambo Black Pearl paint returns in the Audi Laser light LED headlights in the shape of the blue light signature.
On the interior, the Audi team also went all-out to make this an Exclusive Edition, using RS brand accents including Audi exclusive details on the black leather and Dinamica, complete with Sepang blue stitching throughout the interior, this edition comes with the exclusive extended leather package, adding this material onto the door armrests, the center console, upper door panels and even the top of the dashboard, all covered in black leather with the aforementioned Sepang blue stitching, I especially like the pattern used on the perforated center sections of these sports seats, the black Dinamica headliner just completes the interior of this Exclusive Edition.
